Heilandskirche, Gothic Revival church in Plagwitz district, Leipzig, Germany.

The Heilandskirche features a prominent red-roofed tower reaching 86 meters high, making it the second tallest church tower in Leipzig.

Construction of the Heilandskirche began on January 17, 1886, under architect Johannes Otzen's direction and officially opened its doors on August 26, 1888.

The church contains two distinct organs: a Wilhelm Sauer instrument from 1888 and a mechanical organ gifted by a Dutch organization in 1993.

Regular Lutheran services take place in this brick-facade church, which serves as a central gathering point for the Plagwitz community.

The church tower's height and architectural design make it visible from multiple viewpoints throughout the industrial district of Plagwitz.
